The great yoga adventure

Hello great yoga forum friends,

I cobra-ed last night, one of my favourite poses, especially to bend my back the opposite way to how I have been sitting all day in a chair!

We do this pose a lot in pilates and it is just called an 'Extension' - haha not very imaginitive

Very happy with the pose this week. I did some baby cobras last night! Hope to do a few more today and tomorrow 🙂

Once I'm all warmed up I enjoy doing the upward-facing dogs, so I'm preparing for next week too!

I did some baby cobras @Phoenix_Rising

hello @Former-Member, @Former-Member soo happy that you have joined us , sitting in those chairs all day does not help your back xx

Hello @TheVorticon, @Adge

Hello yogis and yoginis from Chiang Mai (Nirthern Thailand @Adge) I cobra-ed in the local park yesterday. There is all manner of activity going on there. People rent out straw mats for 50 cents as the grass is often damp and sit, lay down or yoga on them.

I am still searching out a yoga studio and have found one close to here @Phoenix_Rising. I’m actually heading north west of here tomorrow but when I return I shall take in a class or two.

Good for you @Shaz51 in doing the pose of the week with us. My instructors keep reminding us that we spend too much time sitting in chairs hunched over computers.

Am seriously missing my sessions but other activities are keeping me occupied. Wonder if@frog has seen this little guy?

Good afternoon everybody,

I have cobra-ed today. This was a super good choice of pose @Adge. I definitely agree with @Former-Member that it is super helpful for sore backs.

Yay for cobra-ing @Adge @TheVorticon @Former-Member @Former-Member @Shaz51

I am super excited that you have appeared here @Former-Member. I just knew my nagging encouraging would pay off some time. This was me when I saw you here @Former-Member:

Happy cobra-ing everybody.

Ps. Can anybody say "cobra-ing" without giggling at how amazingly wrong that word sounds?

(This is my secret weapon to entice @CheerBear over here).

I know my not-friend so well @CheerBear. I super hope that unicorn isn't TOO good at yoga such that he bends himself all the way over backwards - that horn looks kind-of sharp.

I love the cobra @Phoenix_Rising - so good for your back stretch! So need it ha ha!
